Watch Us Run A Faucet Over The Pentax K-30

by Chris Gampat on 06/22/2012

Yesterday, we featured some sample images from the Pentax K-30 and today, we’ve once again stepped forward to test the claims of the company. The other night, we ran lots and lots of water over it. In my chat with the company reps, they claimed it would survive me pouring a bottle of water all over it providing that I used a DA* lens due to the weathersealing. When I asked them about throwing it into the ocean, they stated differently.

Then I tried the next closest thing: running water all over it. Take a look at our feeble attempt to destroy the little camera that could. This is just a quick test of the weatherproofing, but the full review is coming. In the meantime, take a look at all the available kits.

hi i noticed you havent posted a full review of this camera yet but i want to ask what you think i should do. im going shopping august for my first dslr and the top contenders for my moneys worth is canon 60D vs pentax k30. What do you think i should do!!

  The ONLY reason you would pick the 60d is if you are going to take lots of videos. The k30 has better IQ, better weather sealing, better burst, focus peaking, 100% viewfinder(!!!), and looks nicer . The video on the k-30 is pretty good too!

the Pentax K-30 is EASILY better than the 60D in damn near EVERY aspect I can think of. Don’t settle for subpar gear – get the K-30. If it weren’t because I had the K-5, I would IN A HEARTBEAT
